In 2008 Cheryl Cole joined the judging panel on X Factor and she won twice out of the three series she appeared on with Alexandra Burke and Joe McElderry. It was soon announced that Cheryl Cole would no longer be appearing on the UK X Factor but would be joining to US X Factor panel instead. However after 2 weeks of filming the US show it was reported that Cheryl Cole had been sacked due to her heavy accent that American's could not understand.
